The process of pollutant adsorption from industrial wastewaters is a multivariate problem. This process is affected by many factors including the contact time (T), pH, adsorbent weight (m), and solution concentration (ppm). The main target of this work is to model and evaluate the process of pollutant adsorption from industrial wastewaters using the non-linear multivariate regression and intell...

The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique was employed to optimize an industrial chemical process characterized by being difficult to be optimized by conventional methods. The chemical process is a three phase catalytic slurry reactor in which the reaction of the hydrogenation of o-cresol producing 2-methyl-cyclohexanol is carried out. The process was represented by a multivariable non-li...

Process industry requires now accurate, efficient and flexible operation of the plants. There is always a need for development of innovative technologies and integrated software tools for process modelling, dynamic trajectory optimization and high-performance industrial process control. Process dynamics tend to become too complex to be efficiently controlled by the current generation of control...

Process systems engineering (PSE) has been an active research field for almost 50 years. Modeling, simulation and optimization technologies have been developed to a mature state. These technologies have been penetrating all fields of chemical engineering in academia as well as in industrial practice. Systems thinking has been established in industrial practice largely through powerful commercia...

A variety of applications of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) require finding a satisfying assignment which optimizes some user-given function. Optimization in the context of SMT is referred to as Optimization Modulo Theories (OMT). Current OMT research is mostly dedicated to optimization in arithmetic domains. This paper is about Optimization modulo Bit-Vectors (OBV). We introduce two OBV ...

The culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) production. The quality by design (QbD) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. An important step in QbD is determination of the main quality attributes. During the media optimization, some of the main quality attribute...

The use of industrial control systems in simulators facilitates the execution of engineering activities related with the installation and the optimization of the control systems in real plants. "Industrial control system" intends to be a valid term that would represent all the control systems which can be installed in an industrial plant, ranging from complex distributed control systems and SCA...

This system combines the demands of process engineering optimization problems with the potential CPU-power of the computers connected to the Internet. The system is capable of using an arbitrary number of computers connected to the Internet for distributed solution of rigorous industrial optimization problems.
